TO THE HOLDERS
or
Virginia COnSOIS and 1910 Bonds

We are authorized by the council of foreign
bondholders to call the attention of holders OF
Virginia consols and 10.4Gs to the fact that the
English bondholders endeavoring, through the
instrumentality of the council of foreign bond
holders to bring about satisfactory settlement OF
the debt of Virginia.
With this object in view, the English bond
holders have, to a large extent, agreed to pool
their bonds and have authorized the council of
foreign bondholders to act for them in the negO-
tations which are about to be had between a COM
mission sent ont from London and committee ap-
pointed by the Legislature of Virginia
1t is most desirable that all holders of Virginia
bonds, both at home and abroad, should unite in
the effort to effect early settlement OF the
state debt. To better accomplish this object. the
council of foreign bondholders earnestly request
the holders Of Virginia bonds in America to CO.
operate with them and to forward to ourselves
their names and addresses, stating the amount Of
bonds held at as carly day as possible.
We will be glad to furnish copies of the plan
adopted by the English bondholders for pooling
their bonds at London, and to give any other in
formation that may be desired.

Rarefied Air and Mania.

ut is strange how some people are
affected by the light air and 5000 feet
altitude of Cheyenne, said Policeman
Bean in recent conversation, as re-
corded in the Cheyenne san.
IA short time ago book agent
reached here from Denver He was
. rather cadaverous-looking chap, who
didn't seem TO pack around more blood
in his constitution than the law allows.
As the train ncared Cheyenne he be-
gan to glare around the car rs if he
was afraid somebody was going to slug
him, and when the news agent passed
through peddling some oranges he
fairly yelled for them to take him away.
He was afraid of being Killed. When
he reached here he got spells in the
same way, and had good deal of
bother in soothing him.
"When he wasn't Eighty he told me
that he had often been troubled that
way when he reached any tolerably
high altitude. The least excitement
brought on fresh spell learned
afterward that he never had any such
attacks at home. In my experience at
the depot here have known of many
people who have been troubled in the
same way. This seems to be especially
true to ladies, who grow worse until
they begin To descend the hill from
Sherman to Laramie City, and on in
quiring from the trainmen learn that
afterward they go through all right. :"
you remember that little fellow
from Nevada, who cut up such tan
trums at the depot here few months
ago?" asked the Judge.
The listener intimatcd that he hadn't
forgotten the circumstances.
"Well, that fellow began to show
the effects of the altitude as the train
neared Cheyenne. BY the time he had
reached here he had barricaded him.
self in the retiring-room and was about
to throw himself out of the window
when the trainmen forced their way
in and caught him. He was sure some
body was going to kill him. ! got
him away from the crowd and told
him I'd protect him, and finally got
him quieted down The trainmen
looked after him until they began to
descend from Sherman. and soon aft
erward he seemed to be as sane as any
body.
1T was only few days later that an
old lady on the train was taken in the
same way. She got it into her head
that a colored women in the far end OF
the car had foul designs upon her.
Until the train reached Cheyenne the
unfortunate daughter of Africa did not
dare move muscle for fear of throw
ing the old lady into commissions.
Cases of this sort turn up often"
what sort of people seem TO be
most affected that way?" was asked.
They are generally thin-blooded,
nervous people, who, if they are in fair
health, have got but little vitality back
of Them" was the reply. Every nery-
Gus old women are very often the vic
Tins. A slight jar or shock sets them
to going. and then the depot-rustler
has picnic on his hands and no mis-
take. Their mania always assumes
the same phase---they always believe
somebody is going to kill them

Knights Of Labor.

EDITOR HERALD have been asked
to announce through 'the papers" the
time when the assembly of Knights Of
Labor lately organized here, will be
prepared to receive those who wish to
join it that they may see for themselves
what are the aims of the organization
and what its methods of obtaining the
ends sought. And they are farmers
who have requested this. Well, am
told that it is now prepared to receive
such.
This organization is the most thor
oughly American. the most truly Demo-
cratic institution in existence, except
one that was more recently organized.
1t teaches that all public utilities and
conveniences should be owned by the

teaches that the government should o,On
and does o,Un nothing; that it should
simply hold in trust for the people, this,
that, or the other 1t teaches that all
officers should be elected by the people
directly. and that for the amount of
work done, the number of office holders
should be greatly reduced. And, when
it shall have progressed somewhat, as
it is sure to do, it will no doubt, teach
that all officers should be elected for a
term OF years unless sooner recalled,
thus Withholding from officers the power
to do evil, the power to injure the indus

This organization teaches that all
